Black diamond Loon Mountain, NH
Upper Rumrunner drops 496 vertical feet over 1,887 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 26° about 910 feet below the top. That's steeper than 29% of the 4,740 black diamond runs we've measured in North America, and the 14th steepest of 76 named runs at Loon Mountain. It faces northwest.
Facing northwest at an average 15°, Upper Rumrunner gets about 63% of the winter sun that flat ground at Loon Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 81% of the runs we've measured, and the 24th shadiest named run at Loon Mountain. Its top sits at 2,000 feet.
Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
